1Journeys to the Other Side of the World

David Attenborough

Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s onwards the young David Attenborough travelled to Madagascar, New Guinea, the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory. He and his cameraman companion were aiming to record the way of life of some of the indigenous people. Alongside these remarkable cultures he encounters paradise birds, chameleons, sifakas and many more animals in some of the most unique environments on the planet.
